Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
8 1/2-inch-thick eggplant slices

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove
4 large bunches arugula

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

Spray grill with oil spray and prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spray eggplant on both sides with oil spray; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until tender, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

Choose firm, ripe eggplants that are free of blemishes.
Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
To prevent the eggplants from absorbing too much oil, pat them dry with paper towels before grilling.
Grill the eggplants over medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred.
Use fresh mozzarella cheese for the best flavor.
Serve the sandwiches on toasted bread or rolls.
